The stream of praying cannot rise higher than the fountain of living.

He who is too busy to pray will be too busy to live a holy life. Satan had rather we let the grass grow on the path to our prayer chamber than anything else.

Few persons are made of such strong fiber that they will make a costly outlay when surface work will pass as well in the market.

The only limits to prayer are the promises of God and His ability to fulfill those promises.

Preaching is God's great institution for the planting and maturing of spiritual life. When properly executed, its benefits are untold. When wrongly executed, no evil can exceed its damaging results.

The first and last stages of holy living are crowned with praying.

No erudition, no purity of diction, no width of mental outlook, no flowers of eloquence, no grace of person can atone for lack of fire. Prayer ascends by fire. Flame gives prayer access as well as wings, acceptance as well as energy. There is no incense without fire; no prayer without flame.
